The insta360 X4 Air features ultrasharp 8K resolution, making reframed video on par with standard camera footage for easier matching edits. Since the footage is captured with high-quality H.265 compression, the 8K files are small enough to edit using the Insta360 app or Insta360 Studio.NOTE: Shooting in 8K consumes more power than lower resolutions. Shoot 8K only in bright daylight conditions; it is recommended to lower the capture resolution when shooting in low light.
The X4 Air supports up to 8K30, 6K48, and 4K60 video for smooth shots at ultrahigh-resolution. The camera also features Me Mode, which records a 170° field of view flat video, perfect for POV video with an invisible selfie stick. Me Mode supports up to UHD 4K30 and 1080p120 slow-motion modes with external stitching.AdaptiveTone automatically balances brightness, color, and contrast from each lens for crisp, natural‑looking videos. Active HDR boosts colors in the highlights and shadows and captures high detail in low light.
